Let the number be x
Therefore,
14/100 of x = 63
or, x = (63 * 100) / 14 = 450
The number is 450
Therefore,
14/100 of x = 63
or, x = (63 * 100) / 14 = 450
The number is 450

Let's assume the number as x
According to Question,
Given : 14% of x = 63
14 / 100 × x = 63
⇒ x = 63 × 100 / 14
⇒ x = 9 × 50
⇒ x = 450
Hence, the required number is 450
Explaination -
Some things to remember -
14 % = 14 / 100
of = “×” = multiply
The question asked for a number which when multiplied with 14%, it turn into 63
So, after calculation, we get 450 as the required number
